when a smile drops [ BrightWin | SarawaTine ]

9:13 p.m

we were under the shade of the big tree. his back pressed against my back, our butts rested on the grass. i could feel my heart at ease with him and each time he shifts his body, i would blush by the thought of skin to skin.

it was only me and Bright on the area. students are probably out there doing their own businesses. i love the silence and the air blowing the growing fire on my cheeks. i like everything that i saw; birds chirping, flying around, leaves falling and dancing gracefully as they meet the ground.

i felt light.

my life is a dark chasm. i continue to fall and i have forgotten to open my eyes to see light.

Bright reached out for me and he held my hands giving me the light i need; warm like a porridge soup for a sick person. he is giving me comfort and i couldn't deny it anymore, i like it.

i like to see him smile.
i like it when he looks at me.
i like the feelings i feel when i'm with him.

"Have you thought about something?" he asked. i heard him flipping his notebook.

we decided to look for what to put on our reflection paper and finish it today so we could pass it tomorrow. i closed my notebook and looked at the sky. the clouds were getting dark.

"Hell. Why don't we write about it?" i suggested.

"Convince me." he replied.

"Because every day i live in hell and i try so hard to not get burnt. Well, we will die..."

he stood up and moved in front me. i looked up at him and saw him pucker up his lips like he was reading me.

and i let him read.

he sat down, removed the notebook on my hands and lifted up the sleeves of my jacket.

i looked on the grass avoiding his gaze.

i heard him sigh.

he traces the scars and cuts on my wrist with his thumbs. i held my breath and i could feel my body sweat.

"Does it hurt?" his voice soothes me, pacifying the nervousness i feel.

i didn't answer.

he slowly lifted my hands and like the first time we met, he kissed my wrist once again. but this time, he was tender like he was holding a heart so fragile it might break when you did not hold it carefully.

i looked at him and he glued his eyes on me while he was kissing each of my cuts from both of my wrists.

i could feel my heart beating, racing with fast cars. the wind was cold as the rain was about to fall but there was heat crawling on my neck up to my flushed face.

he smiled. he looks beautiful.

"If you are Hell then I will be your Cerberus..." he paused, intertwining his fingers on mine.

"I will guard you and I will make sure you are protected."

Cerberus was the hound of Hades guarding the gates of hell.

there was something good about his words that keeps my lips up in the sky. i was smiling from ear to ear and he was too.

suddenly the rain poured soaking us wet.

"Run... come with me!" he shouted with a smile plastered on his face. we picked up our things and ran away.

that moment under the crying clouds i feel my heart burning and i decided i would run with him following his shadows wherever he wants to go.

we went inside his car on the parking lot. we filled the car with our loud giggles.

"We are so wet." he complained and took of his uniform revealing his bare upper body.

i hugged myself as i started to feel cold. the rain was heavy and i like the sounds i hear. like it was a music on my ear.

"Take off your jacket." he said.

i was hesitating but he held my shoulders helping me remove the jacket. i felt like i was naked.

Bright was the first person who saw me without a jacket.

he looked at me and smiled.

"You look beautiful." he said making me feel embarrassed.

he moved towards me and slowly enveloped my shivering body on his warm embrace.

i was too shy i couldn't look at him.

he giggled.

"You look cute when you don't know what to do." he was teasing me but i like it.

i buried my face on his neck letting my nose get drunk on his scent.

i wish the rain did not stop so i could be with him for a long time.
